Phase A |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure payload systems engineering is responsible for and has the power to control payload systems engineering functions in all program phases and governing all interfaces, components and performance and MA specification generation and verification. Ensure contractor has allocated resources for tasks, including tailoring and execution of the Mission Assurance standards.

| 4.5.2-1-2 Ensure impact of any critical issue associated with the payload is addressed with a timely execution plan |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure tracking and resolution activities are documented for any critical issues, as defined by the program. Ensure issues have closeout mitigation plans with schedules and resources that show acceptable closing for successful program execution within cost and schedule constraints.

| 4.5.2-1-3 Ensure that the program executability methodology incorporates independent analysis and/or reviews to validate design, build and final product |
Phase B |
Phase C |
Phase D1 |
|
Ensure that independent reviews be considered for manufacturing issues, parts issues, and issues involving Functional Configuration Audits, Physical Configuration Audits. Ensure that independent reviews be considered for: Like-you-fly tests and exceptions, critical qualification margins, single point failures, first flight items, nonconformance items, anomalies, escapes, unverified failures, out of sequence work, extensive redesign, out-of-family measurements, general supplier issues in manufacturing, new design implementations, schedule and performance concerns, etc.
